ThunderBall Films is successfully putting together the movie production of Escape from Paradise and has received a new LOI (Letter of Intent) from actress Bai Ling who starred with Richard Gere in the film Red Cross.

This includes a commitment from a CPA firm who does tax credit financing in Ireland, a possible location to film, as part of the package needed for investors – along with the CPA firm’s commitment to apply for and finance the tax credits if ThunderBall does shoot in Ireland and what portion of the budget they would provide.

Iran Hacked the Drone

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ratcheted up claims surrounding the American drone the country claims it downed, telling Venezuelan state TV that it has been “able to control” it.

“Those who have been in control of the spy plane will analyze the plane’s system,” Ahmadinejad bragged, according to CNN. “The systems of Iran are so advanced also, like the system of this plane.”

In other words, Iran hacked the drone.

Officials claim they brought the drone down with a cyber attack after spotting it flying over Iranian air space. American officials have not confirmed that a missing U.S. drone was the one in the video, and said a malfunction was likely the real reason behind it’s going down and not an attack.

Iranian defense minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi also slammed the U.S. for not offering an apology.

“Their plane invaded Iran and Iranian forces reacted powerfully,” he told the semi-official Mehr news agency. “Now, instead of offering an apology to the Iranian nation, they impudently ask for the return of the plane.”

Fars News Agency also claimed the country had brought down 90 American drones in the past four years.

While it is improbable that Iran has managed to take down that many drones without notice, the American military was dealt another embarrassing blow on Tuesday, when another remote U.S. drone had crashed while landing off the East Coast of Africa, the AFP reported.

Come on, who is Iran trying to kid or impress that they are so technologically advanced and capable. If they are they wouldn’t be importing those 6,000 IEDs radio frequency modules from Digi International through the covert re-export business of the 4 Singaporeans. It goes to prove that Iran does not even have the ability to produce these modules. That is also the reason why they are employing Russian scientists to devise the triggering mechanism for their nukes. In fact, why experimenting with their own indegenous firing mechanisms which was tested on their rockets and missiles recently, there were several explosions resulting in severe damage to their programme. These guys are really hopeless in creating devices of their own. They are only good at copying the designs of others and putting their “made in Iran” label on it, that’s all.

Good points, Jim. But maybe Iran also imported some 13-year olds to hack into the drone. As for the explosions in Iran, and some random killings of their scientists, well, maybe the CIA is hard at work “promoting freedom.”
